Marae Trip

98 Strong Street had a great time visiting Rehua Marae.  After a short bus trip we arrived to be welcomed by a traditional powhiri.  The students we respectful and even gave a hongi a go.  Super work everyone!
We had lunch, followed by an informative tour around the outside of the marae.  You can see us in the photos below pretending we are like the wharenui- which is like a woman, standing like we are.  The amazing kowhaiwhai patterns and tukutuku panels inside the wharenui were shown to us and we learnt about the chief on the top of the wharenui.
We managed to dodge most of the wet weather and finish off with poi and some rakau songs.
Thank you to all our parents that helped on the trip.
